A suspected Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) officer recently assaulted a Harare journalist at Harare Show Grounds.
Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that freelance journalist Andrison Manyere was assaulted by a suspected state agent Ephraim Chizola at Harare Show grounds, during the Zimbabwe Agricultural show.
"According to reports Manyere took a picture of Chizola's car, which had no registration plates but emblazoned with a picture of President Mugabe. Chizola assaulted Manyere for his actions and made efforts to drag him into his car but the victim resisted," said ZPP.
"Chizola then reported the case to showground police claiming Manyere assaulted him and damaged his phone. Manyere was detained for two days and was released on free bail as the court postponed the case to a further date.
